Who’s Being Spooky?

Last Spring, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide of Haiti gave Voodoo official recognition, most notably legalizing Voodoo marriages. Now, reports Christianity Today, “Christians” fear a national “pact with the Devil” in the island nation. This is surprising news — not the pact, but the fact that Christianity Today, a smart glossy that represents the mainstream conservative evangelical view with panache, would give credence to this kind of bigotry. Their report links to two earlier articles from the BBC and the Los Angeles Times, the latter of which is by far the more intriguing. In fact, The Revealer recommends you read Carol J. Gilligan‘s L.A. Times Report, then proceed to this strange bit of spiritual warfare at Christianity Today.
